Headlight affected from lowering springs?
Hi all,
Anyone happen to notice their headlights affected after installing springs or any other suspension mod? I feel my headlights are aimed a bit low after driving some other cars (with halogen) recently. This should have bothered my in the past so I feel like something was affected when my Dinan springs were installed last month. Any insight is appreciated

Don't think you can re-learn the sensor.... you just use the screw on each headlight to adjust the height... one way pushes it higher the other lower.. there is a hole on the chassis coming from the top where the hood meets the headlight and with a long screw driver you can adjust it

That said, is it possible that my headlights were somehow affected during my suspension install? I just feel like I shouldn't adjust anything on my own if that's how my lights were from the factory.

well if you are say 2inches lower all around your lights will actually point lower cause you reduced the height.... and because you also lower the rear i believe the car wouldn't be able to tell... Say you put the car on a lift, the headlights are not going to adjust to iluminate the same as when you are on the ground... I had to adjust when i put the LCA as it changes the angle of the leveling sensor rod |

On the bright side (pun unintended lol), it seems like my headlights levels are equal between both sides. So I will make the same adjustments on both sides.
